In Warwick Row Espresso having a middling mocha and a quite nice toffee apple crumble cheesecake.

The background music is Abba singing Fernando. Actually it might have been Ann-Frid's solo version.

There are sixteen of us in the café including two staff. All but three of us, I think, are younger than the song.

Now it's playing Super Trouper.

When will today's music be on café background music playlists?

Today's outfit is a heavie lined and pleated black skirt with a buttoned up jacket. The weather is cool compared to last week with no sun and a damp breeze.

@meggie I know. :-)
Went there years ago when we rented a 70' narrowboat to do the Warwickshire Ring with our children, when they were children. We tied up the boat in the Coventry Canal Basin and from there it's a ten minute walk to the museum. Took us a couple of minute loner because as we were walking from the boat to the exit of the canal basin we were stopped by a policeman who wanted to know why the children were out of school. We just explained that it was school holidays in Norway where we live and he seemed satisfied. We were rather surprised by this, since when did it become a police matter? It certainly wasn't, and isn't in Norway.

Anyway, back to the museum. It is a good museum and the children enjoyed it very much. I'm not sure my wife found it quite as interesting though :-)
